Mechanics of Composite Materials

3 credits · Undergraduate

The course introduces classification of composite materials, fabrication processes and applications of composites; the basic relations of elasticity of anisotropic materials, and the macro- and micromechanical modeling of composites. The elastic behaviour of laminated and fibre-reinforced composites is studied; the effective moduli theory and the strength of composite materials are considered. Smart composite structures and their constituents are introduced. PREREQUISITES: MECH 3010.03 CROSSLISTED: MECH 6530.03 FORMATS: Lecture | Lab | Tutorial
